Goldberg, a former press secretary to a governor of Maryland, invented the day. Since the beginning of the month began with telling lies on April Fool’s Day, Goldberg felt the month should end on a higher moral note, according to Holidayinsights.com.

On National Honesty Day, people are encouraged to tell the truth all day long.

While I certainly don’t need a special day set aside to help me be truthful, I can think of some people in Washington who do.

@NiceDeb Today is National Honesty Day but is a day the Press Secretary Jay Carney spent lying to cover up other lies. Wow. #Benghazi
